Ok I just got my 120G and It has not cycled yet but I am trying to decide what I want to put in. I do have some sort of an idea. I just need help on deciding what and how many of each...

Blue Tang? (#)
Purple Tang? (#) < I do know on Tangs that you have to introduce them all at the same time...
Yellow Tang? (#)
Any other colorful types of Tang?

Diamond goby

I dont know about all three tnags..maybe 2

other fish i like sailfin Blenny's, powder brown tang (replace a different tang then), black cap basslet, if its fish only, coris wrasse, if not fairy wrasse (Lienatus maybe), mandarin (if you can get it stocked with pods and a fuge), or an angel of somesort?

i'd go w/one yellow tang.
an angel of some sort. flame angel is always pretty. and fairy or flasher wrasses.

Thats alot of fish in a 4ft tank regardless of gallons Seafood. All those surgeons and angels(the genicanthus) grow to a good size, atleast 10in. Plus achilles need a good bit of space to "sprint".

I would say just the purple tang or the yellow and then all the rest of those fish should be fine. As far as "nemo" is concerned, any less aggressive clown pair should be fine since the majority of that type of stocking list is smaller fishes.

Just make sure you add slow. 2-3 tangs sound ok in your 120. if you start small it will take years for them to get to that large size. Yellow and purple tangs stay fairly small. Make sure you add the purple and yellow at the same time.

no powder blue, no Acanthurus species....
